Abstract
A mounting for a baling machine gearbox includes a first, cylindrical support member secured to and extending from at least a first part of a rigid frame inside the baling machine and a second support member secured to and extending from at least a further part of the rigid frame that in use is spaced vertically from the first part of the rigid frame. The gearbox includes at least one selectively tightenable and loosenable clamp that encircles the first support member and the mounting includes at least one releasable connection securing the gearbox to the second support member, whereby on disconnecting of an input rotary shaft and a crank from the gearbox, and disconnecting of the releasable connection and loosening of the clamp the gearbox is rotatable from the operational position to an access position permitting access to the plunger while supported on the first support member.
